What Makes This Tour Special
★ A Full Island Story in Two Weeks
Because Sri Lanka is so compact, families can fit elephant safaris, an ancient rock fortress, a scenic train ride and two different beach towns into just two weeks — a range of experiences that would normally take much longer.
1. Sunrise From an Ancient Fortress
Watch the sunrise from the summit of Sigiriya Rock Fortress, a magical family moment atop a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
2. Elephant Gathering, Up Close
Witness Minneriya National Park’s famous seasonal elephant gathering, one of the most spectacular wildlife events for kids to see.
3. Ziplining the Whole Family Can Join
Experience the Flying Ravana Zipline in Ella, an exhilarating activity suited to older kids and adults together.
4. Leopard Safari for the Family
Search for Sri Lankan leopards, elephants and crocodiles together on an evening safari in Yala National Park.

Enjoy family beach days in both surf-friendly Weligama and calm, resort-lined Bentota.
6. Village Trek and Catamaran Ride
Experience Hiriwadunna’s authentic village life with a countryside trek and traditional catamaran ride, popular with children.
7. Spice Garden Discovery
Explore the Matale Spice Garden, an interactive stop where kids can touch, smell and learn about Sri Lanka’s famous spices.
8. A Highland Farm Stop
